Everything you need to know
Approach
The training combines brief theory with extensive hands-on exercises. We use recognisable examples from your own work environment — your own documents, templates and house style — so you can apply what you've learned on the very same day.
Levels
We offer two levels: Beginner and Intermediate, plus industry-specific programmes for Legal, HR and Communications. In the preliminary conversation we determine together which programme fits best. Does your team have mixed levels? No problem: we put together a programme that is relevant for everyone.
Bespoke
Almost every Word training we deliver is bespoke. We combine topics from different levels into one training that precisely matches the daily practice of your team. Think of: formatting legal documents, templates for HR correspondence, or mail merge for a mailing campaign. Your own templates are used as practice material.
Word version
We train in the latest version of Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) by default. Does your organisation use an older version? No problem: we align the training accordingly and indicate which features are version-specific.
Materials & follow-up
After the training, each participant receives a comprehensive summary with examples and exercises. Any questions after the training can always be directed to the trainer.
From request to results
Every Word training is carefully prepared and aligned with your organisation.

What participants say
"I finally understand how styles work in Word. Our documents now look consistent and I save at least 15 minutes a day on manual formatting."
